A very nice climb that doesn't look like much, but the difficulty is definitely there. Don't be fooled by the numbers, there's 1500m of flat on the plateau, when it goes uphill it's 8.5％ average for just over 7km. The final stretch to the Ajon car park is on a small, quiet, tarmac road.... read more

Très belle montée qui ne paye pas de mine, mais la difficulté est bien présente.
Ne pas se fier aux chiffres, il y a 1500m de plat sur le plateau, quand ca monte c'est du 8.5％ de moyenne sur un peu plus de 7 km.
Le final vers le parking d'Ajon se fait sur une petite route bien goudronnée et tranquille.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ajon can be cycled from 2 sides. Ajon from Onnion is the most popular side, but the summit can also be reached via Ajon from Villard.

Ajon is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!

Ajon is a serious climb and falls into the 2nd category. With a good basic fitness level, even without much cycling experience, you can complete this climb just fine. However, a bike with climbing gears is a must. Without experience or training, it will be really tough – but that’s part of the challenge!
